Mark from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2024. His 24 kW Generac from the 7200 series is on Diamond with a ten year term, the longest and most complete arrangement we offer: scheduled maintenance, parts, and Wi-Fi monitoring, all under one agreement rather than three. On a 24 kW machine that is the difference between an asset and a liability. Middletown is in Monmouth County.

Green Sun Energy is Professional, Reliable and Reasonable. Their customer service is exceptional from start to finish. They assist in navigating all aspects of the installation. We recently had Green Sun install a generator for us and we don't know how we every lived without it! They showed up as planned with everything needed for the job.. We are also using them for power washing this season. We would highly recommend Green Sun Energy.

Standby generator questions from Middletown homeowners
Can we build an enclosure around the generator?
A secondary enclosure should not be added unless the finished installation still complies with the manufacturer's requirements. Restricting the machine can reduce cooling airflow, trap heat, recirculate exhaust, block service access and create unsafe carbon-monoxide conditions. The factory enclosure is already engineered as part of the generator.
What size standby generator does a Middletown home need?
The correct size is decided by the electrical loads the generator is expected to run, not by the square footage of the house. Central air, heat pumps, electric heat, well and sump pumps, refrigerators and freezers, electric ranges and dryers, pool equipment and EV chargers all count. Where a load is connected automatically, the generator either has the capacity for it or an approved load-management system controls it.
Does the clearance apply to a fixed window as well as one that opens?
A permanently fixed pane may be treated differently from an operable window, because the concern in the placement guidance is exhaust and carbon monoxide entering the building. Even so, the installer has to evaluate the exact model's manual and everything nearby -- operable windows, doors, vents, fresh-air intakes, window wells and mechanical openings. A fixed window should never simply be assumed acceptable.
